MIHALIS (TSOTIS) KYRIACOU

Mihalis ‘Mike’ peacefully passed away at the Countess of Chester Hospital on Saturday 30th May 2026, aged 88 years.

Dearly loved Husband to Eileen. Adored Dad to Yolanda and Mark, Father-in-law to Tommy. Pappou to Jacob, Isobelle and Joni. Loved Uncle to many.

Yolanda will always remember her Dad for saying, ‘Hello YoYo how are you?’ every time he greeted her. 

A thought from Mark ‘The soul is a spark of divine light that descends into the physical world and returns as unified, spiritual light once its earthly journey is complete.’ 

Mihalis will be sadly missed by all of his family and friends.

We will always remember his warmth, his spirit, and the way he would greet us with his unforgettable “re ftoshi.” He brought smiles wherever he went and will be deeply missed by everyone who knew and loved him.
